Chapter 505 Comedy is not dead

The source of the phrase "the core of comedy is tragedy" can no longer be found, but many comedy masters basically say this, and everyone thinks so.

Comedy brings laughter to everyone, but often the people who engage in comedy are not happy.

Many comedy masters are either extremely serious in themselves, or many of them suffer from so-called depression. In short, the core of comedy is tragedy, and this sentence is sometimes true.

As a comedy master, what he wants to do is to do everything possible to make you laugh, but as a comedian himself, it is very painful to do everything possible to make others laugh.

Yu Xiaoshu has never written a comedy work.

You are like "People on the Journey", you are like "Thailand".

So when creating comedy works, is Yu Xiaoshu happy, excited, excited, excited, or in pain? ?

Yu Xiaoshu said this in an interview before.

neither.

He just wants to create and write it.

I'm not Calvin, I'm just a porter of nature.

When Yu Xiaoshu said this at the beginning, everyone just thought it was a joke, but Yu Xiaoshu knew that what he said was quite right.

What are you going to say is wrong?

To be precise, Yu Xiaoshu is not a porter of nature, he should be a porter of the planet.

For Yu Xiaoshu, all he needs is to transport works from another planet. If there is anything else to do, then it is to reprocess the transported works.

That's it.

For Yu Xiaoshu, he is confident in the movie "Detective Chinatown". Because of his confidence, he dared to say the small goal of 18 billion.

At present, the box office forecast of "Detective Chinatown" is 30 billion, but it is hard to say how much it will eventually reach, but it will definitely exceed 18 billion.

At this time, who would believe that Yu Xiaoshu would hit the street? ?
Whoever believes it is too stupid.

In the past three days, the media also changed their previous tone. At the same time, the comments on Douhu that blackmailed Yu Xiaoshu and those who thought Yu Xiaoshu would go to the streets basically disappeared.

Face slaps always come unexpectedly.

For many people, they never care about being slapped in the face, they will always support whoever is good, and they will support whoever wins.

If you hit the street, they will step on you hard, even the kind that want to step on you to death, because stepping on you has traffic.

But if you succeed, then they will praise you, and not just praise you in general, they will praise you severely, even to the point of causing hatred, because at this time, the flow of praise for you is greater.

Thousands of words and one sentence, whatever has traffic, they will do it.

In the past three days, public opinion has been surprisingly unanimous.

It's all Kuayu Xiaoshu's.

But you must know that the movie "Detective Chinatown" was not so well received at the beginning of its release. On the contrary, the countless people were basically about to call this movie shit.

Who would have thought of the result? ?

In the blink of an eye, "Detective Chinatown" became such a success as soon as it was released.

Comedy, the problem is that "Detective Chinatown" is not a pure comedy. On the contrary, this movie is mixed with detectives. It can even be said that this movie has really created a style.

Those in the industry can see it.

But today, at the road show, some people actually didn’t just want to ask questions about the movie "Detective Chinatown" itself. On the contrary, what everyone wanted to know was the movie "Detective Chinatown" as a comedy. What does it represent.

To be precise, people in the industry want to know some of Yu Xiaoshu's thoughts on comedy.

No, the person who asked the question today is himself a screenwriter.

He actually wanted to see Yu Xiaoshu's discussion on comedy.

Is the core of comedy a tragedy? ? ?
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "The core of comedy is indeed tragedy, but the most important thing is to do a good comedy, make good characters, make a good plot, and put people first. Absolutely not."

This is one aspect.

Another aspect is sensationalism.

Today's comedy is more and more sensational.

And the sensationalism of many comedies has reached a level of disgust.

A lot of people are saying that comedy is dead.

why? ?

Comedies used to make people laugh.

Today's comedy is to make people cry.

This is not only the case for comedy variety shows, but also for some comedy TV series and movies.

It seems that pure comedy is wrong.

It must be elevated.

What's the point? ?
That's what Yu Xiaoshu wanted to say.

It's better to be in time than to be in time, since we talked about comedy, Yu Xiaoshu also said to everyone: "In fact, Baiqian Media will make a comedy variety show, and then we will tell everyone what real comedy is. "

Hearing this, the young screenwriter was taken aback: "Mr. Yu, you said that Baiqian Media is going to do a comedy variety show? But isn't the current comedy variety show dead? And now the comedy sketch actors on the market are basically all Look at the aesthetic fatigue."

"May I have your name??

"

Yu Xiaoshu asked the young screenwriter at this time.

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, hello, my name is Wang Zhen."

"Wang Zhen, right? Why do I have a little impression of your name?"

Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Zhen.

He was really not being polite, Yu Xiaoshu really felt that this name was a bit familiar.

Wang Zhen was No.1 in the Young Screenwriter Contest three years ago. At that time, Yu Xiaoshu was presenting the award, and although he had forgotten Wang Zhen, he still remembered the name.

So you take a look.

The media at the scene had already started taking pictures.

This can also be regarded as a point of promotion for turning back.

After listening to what Wang Zhen said, Yu Xiaoshu also said: "Okay, let's add friends later. I happen to need to find some screenwriters for comedy variety shows. When the time comes, you can just come to me."

Hearing Yu Xiaoshu's words, Wang Zhen instantly became excited: "Okay, Teacher Yu."

In fact, Wang Zhen was not the only screenwriter present, but other screenwriters were also present.

But the roadshow is over.

Others obviously had no chance.

This made other people feel a little bit pained.

Of course, there is also envy, jealousy and hatred.

For Wang Zhen, three years ago, after he won the first prize in the Young Screenwriter Contest, what he ushered in was not a pinnacle in his life. On the contrary, after he won the first prize, he began to fall instantly.

how to say? ? ?

In many cases, there are often very few opportunities for screenwriters.

They want to ask for an opportunity, but this opportunity is often basically unavailable.

Wang Zhen didn't want to be a shooter.

And although he won the first prize, he wants to be an independent screenwriter.

It goes without saying how difficult it is to be an independent screenwriter.

Wang Zhen also has a lot of enthusiasm. No matter how difficult it is for him to be an independent screenwriter, he doesn't want to be a dog with capital.

It is difficult to earn money, but at least the money he earns is clean.

For this reason, Wang Zhen even did some part-time work.

Let's say that.

Wang Zhen really did odd jobs to be a screenwriter.

This is the current state of entertainment.

Why do many people say that internal entertainment is dead? ?

In fact, it is also because of this.

Those who are talented, capable, and capable often don't have the opportunity.

As soon as the road show of "Detective Chinatown" ended, some staff found Wang Zhen.

"Teacher Wang, this way please."

The staff said politely to Wang Zhen.

Backstage, in the waiting room, Yu Xiaoshu roughly checked what Wang Zhen had been doing since he won the No.1 screenwriting competition.

how to say?
Very surprised.

Quite a surprise.

Good guy.

Is it so difficult? ? ? ?
This Yu Xiaoshu really did not expect.

He originally thought that what Wang Zhen said just now was a bit exaggerated, but after reading it now, he knew that it was not an exaggeration at all, on the contrary, it was the truth.

real facts.

Wang Zhen is indeed not doing well.

"Mr. Yu."

After Wang Zhen came to the lounge, he said politely to Yu Xiaoshu.

"I know you want to be an independent screenwriter, don't worry, we Baiqian Media will not sign you, but recently I want to do a comedy variety show, and at the same time, I need some young, talented screenwriters, I I believe that there are many underappreciated people in this circle, and if you are one, there must be others."

Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Zhen: "As for me, the reason for looking for you is very simple. You have underappreciated screenwriters and underappreciated actors by your side, and even those who feel that you are missing a chance. You find them all."

Wang Zhendao: "Mr. Yu, do you really want to do a comedy variety show?? I just said the current comedy variety show. I think there is really nothing to do."

"That's them. What I want to do is to tell everyone what is a qualified comedy and what is a qualified comedy variety show."

Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Aren't you short of a chance, and I remember that you have always written comedy books, so it is just right, I won't say anything else, I will post some plans for this show later. Let me tell you, you can take a look at it when the time comes, and then decide whether to come or not."

Yu Xiaoshu never likes to force others.

He feels that everyone is equal.

Everyone is a cooperative relationship.

No one thought that at the road show of "Detective Chinatown", Yu Xiaoshu would actually be promoting his new program.

It's really unconventional.

No, almost 10 minutes after the end of the road show, there were already discussions about this matter on the Internet.

"I'm so surprised, I really didn't expect that Yu Xiaoshu is going to be a comedy variety show."

"The current comedy variety show is already dead. Is it interesting for Yu Xiaoshu to do a comedy variety show?"

"Yu Xiaoshu is absolutely confident. You know, at present, this "Detective Chinatown" has only started for three days. As a result, Yu Xiaoshu no longer promotes this movie. Instead, he started to promote a comedy variety show??"

"It's awesome, Yu Xiaoshu is awesome, but I still want to remind Yu Xiaoshu that since 2016, domestic comedy variety shows have basically stopped working, because everyone is all the same old, what else can you say?" Made it???"

"Not only that, let's take some actors in comedy variety shows as an example. Sometimes these actors basically have to participate in three or four variety shows. Do you think they have time to think about this?"

……

All of a sudden, online discussions about Yu Xiaoshu's comedy variety show were quite busy.

But no matter what, everyone still has a certain amount of confidence in Yu Xiaoshu.

This confidence comes from the comedy movies written by Yu Xiaoshu.

In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu is indeed an ancestor.

A lot of times, comedy movies are harder to write, comedy books are harder to write, because sometimes you think it's funny, but for a lot of people, they think it's just shit.

The commonality of comedy is not the same.

Everyone laughs differently.

At this time, it is too difficult to make a good comedy movie.

But Yu Xiaoshu has already written several successful comedy movies, not to mention the above, "Detective Chinatown", which is currently being screened, is really likely to create a small miracle.

Because there are still four days left in the National Day file, but starting from today, that is, the fourth day of the National Day file, the number of "Detective Chinatown" films is gradually increasing.

Among them, whether it is "No Return" or the remaining few films, the film schedule is basically shrinking, especially "No Return" may be due to other reasons, and the attendance rate of this film is decreasing.

On the contrary, the film schedule of "Detective Chinatown" is increasing, and the attendance rate of this film is also increasing.

In this way, during the remaining four days of the National Day file, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" has not fallen, not only did not fall, on the contrary, it also achieved a reversal.

That's right.

For 7 consecutive days, the single-day box office of "Detective Chinatown" did not exceed 3 million, but it has always remained above 2 million.

I won't say how rare this is.

In fact, recently, there have been a lot of discussions about the death of comedy. The box office of comedy movies in the past is indeed high. No matter what time it is, a comedy movie can often bring high box office.

In particular, everyone feels that the cost of comedy movies is also low.

In this way, everyone naturally must make a good comedy movie from this aspect.

Because the risk is low.

But then everyone got tired of it.

It's like throwing up after eating delicacies all the time.

And comedy is dead is a thing that a lot of people are talking about.

Comedy movies are dead.

Comedy variety is dead.

The whole comedy is dead too.

Now, who the hell still does comedy? ? ?
Under such an atmosphere, many of Yu Xiaoshu's actions were somewhat unconventional.

But there is no way.

Who told him to be Yu Xiaoshu?

What was even more desperate was that Yu Xiaoshu could succeed, but many people who followed him all went to the street.

Yu Xiaoshu's success cannot be replicated.

This is the bloody lesson that many people have learned.
